The written contract was conditional on approval of the sample and that condition was not satisfied because the required string could not be obtained; consequently the contract never came into effect and the plaintiff's claim for breach fails; however, because the defendant performed work and supplied materials at the plaintiff's encouragement, the defendant is entitled to be paid on a quantum meruit basis and an account of all dealings is to be taken.
